Weekly Meal Plan

Welcome to Week #4 of my meal planning experiment! So far it is
saving
me time, money, and grocery shopping which are all good things. The
meal plans are also proving to be helpful in trying out new recipes as
well. Last week I only did okay with the meal plan, altering some of
the recipes to suit my tastes, and I did have to make one extra grocery
trip. Overall it was still much more convenient then my old winging it
approach ever was.

The way I see it is even if we don't cook exactly what is on the menu, I
have food in the house for 6 complete meals which makes improvising
easy if we are not in the mood for one of the dishes selected. All of
the recipes get printed out, and if they are good end up in my custom made cook book that I blogged about when I first started this blog.

Weekends
and Monday's are crazy for me so I am making this weeks list 7 meals
instead of 6 to postpone my next grocery shopping trip if needed. This
weeks menu took me a little longer to create because I was more in the
mood for new recipes then the things we normally cook around the house.
It should make for a yummy week!

I am amazed at how much I actually save when I do sit down and plan the menu. I keep "planning" to do it and it gets put off. I have to start that back up. Thanks for inspiring me! These recipes all sound delish!!
